x years after 1950
T(58)= 58.51 F and T’(58)=0.0528 F/yearIn 2008 the average global temperature was
58.51 deg F and increasing at a rate of 0.0528 deg F per year.

National Academies Report: Climate Change
The rising temperature observed since 1978 are particularly noteworthy because the rate of increase is so high and because, during the same period, the energy reaching the Earth from the Sun had been measured precisely enough to conclude that Earth’s warming was not due to changes in the Sun.

Temperature PredictionsT(100)=61.60 F and T(150)=67.61 FThe model predicts that in 2050 the average
temperature will be 61.6 deg F, and in 2100 it will be 67.61 deg F, an increase of 3.49 and 9.48 deg F, respectively, since 2000.

More Temperature PredictionsUsing T’(58)=.0528 F/yearIf global temperatures continue to increase
at current rates, then by 2050 there will be an increase of 2.61 deg F and by 2100 there will be an increase of 5.24 deg F since 2000. The average global temperature in those years will be 60.73 and 63.37, respectively.
